Britt Phone: (252) 451-7813 ext. 27 Email address: brittsyardworks@yahoo.com FACILITY CONTACT ADDRESS: Daniel Britt PO Box 426 Red Oak, NC 27868 PARTICIPANTS: Amanda Thompson, NCDEQ, Solid Waste Section Drew Hammonds, NCDEQ, Solid Waste Section Date of Last Inspection: May 26, 2022 STATUS OF PERMIT: Notified LCID issued in 2005 to Jeff Wyers, Nash Brick Company; company and property bought by Daniel Britt, Carolina East Enterprises, Inc. and transferred on November 1, 2019. The required notified land clearing and inert debris paperwork with the operator name change was NOT submitted to the Section. THE FACILITY DOES NOT HAVE A VALID NOTIFICATION or PERMIT. PURPOSE OF SITE VISIT: Compliance Inspection STATUS OF PAST NOTED VIOLATIONS: A. 15A NCAC 13B .0201 (c), "No solid waste management facility shall be established, operated, maintained, constructed, expanded, or modified without a valid permit issued by the Division for the specified type of activity. It is the responsibility of every owner or operator of a proposed solid waste management facility to apply for a permit for the facility." UNRESOLVED: Mr. Daniel Britt DID NOT submit the required notification form prior to the NLCID rule readoption date of January 1, 2021; therefore, the facility does not have a valid notification or permit to operate. The facility was told to CEASE collecting waste in the June 2021, November 2021, January 2022 and May 2022 Inspection Reports. During conversations with Mr. Britt in December 2021, Mr. Britt was told that he needed to properly close the NNLCID and then he could apply for a Yard Waste Notification to process vegetative waste. During this inspection, it was determined that Mr. Britt had not CEASED collecting waste nor properly closed the NLCID in accordance with 15A NCAC 13B .0567. Page 1 of 5 FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT D_E Q�� Division of Waste Management NORTH CAROLINA OepaNnent W Environnrenbl puelily Solid Waste Section B. 15A NCAC 13B .0563 (1), "The site shall accept only yard waste and inert debris waste for disposal." and 15A NCAC 13B .0566 (1), "The site shall only accept those solid wastes that it is permitted to receive." UNRESOLVED: During this inspection, the stockpile of animal bedding with manure from horse stall cleanup was still located to the east of the NLCID. Remnants of the animal bedding were observed to be under the uncovered NLCID waste. The NLCID must be covered with soil that meets the unrestricted use standards for soils as defined in G.S. 130A-310.65. Animal bedding is not suitable cover to the NLCID. OBSERVED VIOLATIONS: None. The item(s) listed above were observed by Section staff and require action on behalf of the facility in order to come into or maintain compliance with the Statutes, Rules, and/or other regulatory requirements applicable to this facility. Be advised that pursuant to N.C.G.S. 130A-22, an administrative penalty of up to $15,000 per day may be assessed for each violation of the Solid Waste Laws, Regulations, Conditions of a Permit, or Order under Article 9 of Chapter 130A of the N.C. General Statutes. Further, the facility and/or all responsible parties may also be subject to enforcement actions including penalties, injunction from operation of a solid waste management facility or a solid waste collection service and any such further relief as may be necessary to achieve compliance with the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Act and Rules. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS 1. The total disposal area for this facility will be under 2 acres in size. 2. 15A NCAC 13B .0201 (g), "Disposal area boundaries for landfills permitted in accordance with Section .0500 or .1600 of this Subchapter shall be delineated with stationary markers affixed to the ground. The markers shall be of height and spacing so that they are distinguishable from the surrounding landscape, and so that the adjacent markers are visible when standing at a marker." One edge of waste (EOW) marker was observed near the northeastern corner of the waste disposal area. A possible second EOW marker was observed near the northwestern corner of the NLCID. Permanent edge of waste markers MUST be installed and visible around the entire limits of the NLCID. 3. 15A NCAC 13B .0566 (8), "Surface water shall be diverted from the working face and shall not be impounded over waste." During this inspection, water was found to be impounded over waste, at the base of a NLCID waste pile, in the western central portion of the NLCID. The NLCID MUST be properly graded so that water is shed from the top of the NLCID and not impounded over waste. 4. A large plastic drainage pipe and several pieces of dimensional and painted lumber were observed within the waste stream. Any unacceptable waste MUST be removed from the waste stream and properly disposed of as they are encountered. 5. 15A NCAC 13B .0566 (2), "Solid waste in the landfill shall be compacted. Slopes shall not exceed a ratio of three horizontal to one vertical at any time." The eastern side slope has been partially covered with soil, while the toe of the slope remained uncovered. A majority of the southern side slope was inaccessible due to the uncovered waste on the top of the NLCID. The visible side slopes were determined to be steeper than the ratio of three horizontal to one vertical. The land clearing waste had been pushed into the southern and southeastern tree line. Ensure that the waste is compacted and covered with a minimum of six inches of soil monthly or when the working face reaches 1 acre in size. 6. Staining from what appears to have been the result of a hydraulic leak from the on -site excavator was observed near the northeastern corner of the NLCID. The hydraulic oil had also appeared to have sprayed the land clearing waste as well. The stained soil and contaminated land clearing waste should be excavated and properly disposed of at a properly permitted facility. 7. A stockpile of broken concrete and brick was identified near the northeastern corner of the site. This concrete stockpile was identified in the June 2021 and November 2021 inspection reports. As stated in § 130A 309.05 (c)(1), "Seventy- five percent (75%), by weight or volume, of the recovered material stored at a facility at the beginning of the calendar year commencing January 1, shall be removed from the facility through sale, use or reuse by December 31 of the same year." The concrete stockpile was not removed or reduced by 75% by December 31, 2021 as requested in the November 2021 inspection report. The concrete stockpile appears to have increased in size and become overgrown Page 2 of 5 NORTH CARnLINAD_E Q�� OepaNnent W Environnnnbl Wel� FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section with vegetation. The concrete stockpile must be removed from the site. Please provide the Section with weigh tickets for the proper disposal of the concrete stockpile. 8. Cease accepting waste at this site and close in accordance with 15A NCAC 13B .0567 Closure and Post -Closure Care Requirements for LCIDLFs. 9. Corrective measures are necessary at this facility. Measures to close the facility properly in accordance with the rules above must be completed within 30 days' receipt of this report. The Solid Waste Section will conduct a follow-up inspection in 30 days to ensure issues noted in this inspection report have been addressed. 10. Due to the ongoing non-compliance issues and continued acceptance of waste at this site, the Section is pursuing additional enforcement actions. 11. Photographs were taken during the inspection.
